Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
The grill looks absolutely 100% better. Once again your wife does great work. I hope you took her somewhere nice to eat and not Taco Bell.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
Yeah not to shabby, I might end up leaving it a 70' after all. Shawn is Applebee's good enough, I've never taken anyone in my life to tacobell yuk.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
Applebee's is good. I tend to agree on Taco bell but my kids love it. I don't they realize that their "hamburger meat" is not really meat.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
This truck keeps getting better!
The grille looks sweet. I'm glad it also has the correct black 69-70 headlight bezels. I hate the stainless 71-72 bezels in the 69-70 trucks. (Just the way I am,... ha.) Can you have her touch up the '70-only "silver highlights" on the inner grille? J/K

The paint scheme is the only difference between the 69 and 70 correct? I thought for some reason the egg crate design is just a little different. I own both btw but they are faded so I never could see a noticible difference. I hate the stainless headlamp bezels on 69-70 too. I'm getting old |

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
Much better without the monster bumper. This one is begging for 'the treatment'

This is correct^^^. I have an NOS '69 grille ordered from GM back in the mid-90's and it is painted just like a '69 grill,... (silver in the middle,... and black around the edges),... but it's actually a '70 grille with the raised edges. Gringoloco's truck has the perfect example of a correct '70 inner grille paint scheme.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
Sorry to continue to hijack, but notice the outers are different, too. I currently have an original (top pic), the other was a repop (bottom). You can tell where the black lines continue through the turn lamps to the headlights- on NOS/aftermarket, they stop just past the markers.
Now back to your awesome truck/thread

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
Hey a couple of years ago I stopped and talked to you and Kevin. I didn't know you then but I remember Sancho, this was before the sancho label I believe. My question isdo you know if Kevin is gonna have a tilt for sale there again at that same low price as he had a couple of years ago?

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
Thanks Gringo and Keith for straightening that out for me. I have owned my 70 for 26 years and didn't know the exact differences between the two.
Rene, I agree with the statement above "you are the King" what's next on the truck besides the rear bumper? |

Thanks, but I'm just a regular guy who puts his pants on one leg at a time and loves trucks like the next guy. I found some different brackets and should have the bumper on this weekend, speaking of bumpers Shawn lets have a up date. Also I think the 70' is going to get a CLR bath this weekend, will see how that comes out.
